Chapter 125 Necromancer
Goron was not surprised that General Rena Catherine, the leader of the Investigation Corps, could see through his biggest secret at a glance.
As the common enemy of all living beings on the Dota Continent, it has a history of hostility for nearly ten thousand years. A lot of information about the Scourge Legion is no longer a secret, and even civilians are familiar with it.
Among the Scourge Legion composed of a variety of undead, in addition to the skeleton soldiers and zombie soldiers who are completely as cannon fodder and do not even have basic intelligence, there are also ghouls, ghosts, aggregated corpse monsters and other immortal monsters with low intelligence and high combat power, as well as... the most familiar species of undead with the highest level of intelligence. Among them, the most famous "blood race" that is active in many stories and feeds on blood, which is commonly known as vampires by humans. They specialize in the magic of death. In the end,
Transform yourself into a "corpse witch" who hates and fears the existence of "Corpse Witch". Of course, there are also bone dragons, ghost dragons, blood dragons that are legendary at the top of all undead creatures... However, the most feared undead species in the Scourge Legion are not these undead dragons that can compete with the sixth-level or even the seventh-level creatures in the legend, but are willing to "fall" and sign a soul contract with "Dead Country God" Delmond, and transformed through humans, that is, the "Dead Knight".
The Necromancer is not the most powerful undead. Not only is their strength far inferior to the Immortal Dragon Clan, but their wisdom and knowledge are also incomparable to the corpse witches who are all masters before and after death, and may not even be stronger than the blood clan known as the nobles among the undead creatures. However, the Necromancer possesses a ability that no undead possesses. That is "hidden". The Necromancer is the only undead creature that can be perfectly hidden in the human world without being discovered.
The Empire allows the existence of the Necromancer. It is precisely because the Necromancer is the only human wizard who may be able to detect the existence of the Necromancer. After all, compared with the corpse witch who will leave human society after the transformation is completed, the threat posed by the Necromancer is obviously greater.
Even so, it is very difficult to find the Necromancer hidden in the human world, with many restrictions.
Over the years, the Empire has not known how huge resources it has invested, and wants to find an ideal way to distinguish the Necromancer. But it has undoubtedly failed. General Rena Catherine, the highest commander of the Investigation Corps standing in front of Goron, is the best example. Yes, this outstanding female general from a civilian origin is a Necromancer. At first, Goron could not completely determine her identity. However, there is nothing else on the Dota Continent who can use the unique skill of memory exchange.
"Memory Exchange" is a magical magic that can force input your deepest memories to others, while the caster can also read the other party's most important memories. This can be said to be the most valuable ability for the Dead Knight who often serves the Scourge Legion as a "spy", especially when it is used for torture and interrogation, and there is no need to leave a "living mouth".
"Your memory is really interesting. My mother is a giant monster... and also has the blood relatives of a heterogeneous two-headed ogre... There is even a wandering circus with several fifth-level war king-level strong men, and even casually caught a clown and slaughtered man. I didn't expect that this remote countryside harbor town can bring me so many surprises, which really makes me a little excited. It seems that it is necessary to report to that adult..."
"What are you going to deal with me?" Ge Long asked calmly, although he knew that among all the stories he had heard, only if he was sure of the object to be killed would be able to exert the ability of "memory exchange" by the Dead Knight. After all, whether it is a "natural disaster" or a "death knight", the consequences of identity exposure are absolutely unimaginable. From these perspectives, Ge Long has prepared the worst mental and physical preparation for what will happen in the future. Although the other party is too strong, he is never ready to wait for death.
"It's really hard for me..." Lena hugged her arms and frowned slightly and said, "Actually, since I doubted that you noticed something, I was going to permanently solve you, otherwise I wouldn't take you to this important place and show you my precious memories, but your identity, your experience, your intentions... After knowing this, I began to think that if I killed you here, it might be a loss."
Goron's heart moved, recalling the uncomfortable memory fragments of Sister Lena in his mind, and said, "Your purpose is to avenge the Marquis of Brahadley and all those who have hurt your sister, right? If this is your purpose, maybe there is no reason for hostility between us. You have seen my memory. Now I just want to rescue my mother and Hakulily. In addition, I also want to find out the secret behind my noble father. Look, this has no conflict with you at all. Moreover, my true body is an ogre. Although it is not as sensitive as your identity, it is also a secret that cannot be exposed, so I am even more unlikely to take the initiative to reveal your identity."
"But sometimes, even if you betray me unconsciously, you may accidentally reveal my secret. Isn't there a saying on Dota Continent... Once someone else knows the secret, it is no longer a secret..."
Looking at Lena, whose murderous intent gradually became stronger in her eyes, Goron made a fuss in his heart and shouted loudly: "What if I can help you realize your wish and complete your revenge?"
"...It's funny. I don't think that a little ogre who only dissociates the first-level seal and even tribes have been destroyed can help me?" Although he said this, the murderous intent condensed in the dead knight Lena did disappear a little. Goron seized the opportunity firmly and continued, "Since you have seen my memory, you should also know my plan. My enemy is a fairy tale circus. Now you should also know that dealing with them is not easier than dealing with an imperial marquis. So I will continue to be strong until I will continue to be strong.
Until I can defeat them, I admit that I am still very weak now. But a few days ago, I was still a waste that even a young man might not be able to win. Look, my growth rate should be reasonable, and I can now say that I have part of the dominance of the old street and have a trading network of goblin merchants. This means that soon after, I am very likely to have huge wealth, and I am even planning to form an army, I believe. If we cooperate, it will be beneficial to you and me, both."
In order to survive from the Necromancer, Goron has already given up all his capital. At this time, any hesitation and reservation are acts of dying. Only when Rena fully realizes her true value can Goron have a chance to survive.
"And, I seem to have a little aristocratic bloodline... My father is likely to be related to the Xiuwen family in the imperial capital. Although I don't know anything about this at the moment, this identity may help you in the future. After all, your identity on the surface is just a civilian. In the empire with bloodline supremacy, there are many things that civilians cannot do. You should also know..."
At this point, Goron's hand has been played, and it depends on the final decision of the Miss Dead Knight.
It seemed like a long time had passed, and it seemed that it had only been less than a few minutes. Just when Goron had made the worst plan and was planning whether to take the lead, Rena finally raised her head and asked Goron an inexplicable question.
"These scars on my body...what do you think?"
Ge Long was stunned, but answered directly without thinking: "I think these scars are extremely ugly..."
The Necromancer's brows frowned deeply, and the temperature of the air around seemed to be close to the freezing point. No, this is not an illusion. There is indeed a layer of frost on the surrounding walls. In the Scourge, the Lichs grasp the secret of "rottenness". The blood clan has the power of "blood", and the Necromancer is the spokesperson of "frost".
Goron's teeth began to fight, and every breath could bring out a white mist. The situation was obviously developing in the bad direction, but Goron still gritted his teeth and continued: "Every scar on your body is the pain that your relatives feel. But no matter how deep or long these scars are, no matter how cruel you act on yourself, it is not worth mentioning compared to the pain that your relatives suffer. I am like you... The reason why my tribe is destroyed, my fellow tribes are slaughtered, and my closest relatives are enslaved and imprisoned is because of me... Because of my stupidity, my arrogance, my innocence... Seeing the scars on your body, I will remember the sins I bear, so in my opinion, these scars on your body are like myself, ugly, and I just want to kill this bastard in the most painful way..."
These words were held in my heart and didn't feel happy. Since that night, this resentment and hatred have been held in Ge Long's heart, but he couldn't vent it. Ge Long could not hide his disguise at all, and could not flatter and flatter the devil's knight in front of him who knew a lot of secrets.
But...he seemed to have done this right...
Just as it had never happened, even Goron's ogre physique could not resist the bone-chilling cold, and General Lena's exposed skin gradually became pale, a kind of blue pale that belonged to the dead, her hair became dull and stiff, her pupils were dark and red, and her lips and eyelids were even dark purple. On the contrary, the ugly scars that had crisscrossed before, perhaps because of the special physique of the Dead Knight, completely disappeared... Lena Katherine, who showed her true posture, looked at Goron with a smile, "It seems that we were very similar in terms of hating and hating ourselves. Well, I believe you, because a person who even hates himself will not betray another person who hates him. I am willing to pay this risk for you, but in the same way, I also hope that the promise you made before will become a reality..."

Just as Goron was talking to the Dead Knight, outside the camp of the Investigation Corps, several slightly young but very agile figures were moving quickly... (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
